Cachette took a hiatus from the fandom[when?] before he returned in October, 2008, joining The Furst State, NoVAFur, and several other groups.

He took another hiatus from furry fandom pursuits in 2009,[clarify] instead devoting his time to other fandoms, manly sci-fi and anime events. He attended Shore Leave (a sci-fi con) and Otakon 2010, before returning to the furry fandom in October, 2010, resuming creating anthro art and rejoining The Furst State.

He left the sci-fi and anime communities in 2012 altogether due to declining interest after 14 years, but still remained within furry, producing anthro art when time permits.[citation needed]
